American Graffiti - 1939
8 January 2023
There is a lot of honesty here. Never boring and explores in depth the life of a kid from leaving school to juvenile delinquency. Circumstances took him to a very unpleasant end. What makes it so compelling is that he was a really good kid. And he does a lot of kind things trying to regain his humanity. There are very fine respected actors. The script understand about realistic and human motivations. In two scenes, songs are used that heighten the moods. Lots of creativity with an unfortunately weak ending. Patricia Ellis is a true beauty and makes a rather strange compliment to Wallace Ford but there is something particularly. Real about how we often find ourselves attached to someone who though is perfect for us, does not look quite right. Thrilling.
